2. BRAD PITT

Dad to a brood of six, Pitt is another fan favorite, especially in light of fiancée Angelina Jolie's double mastectomy announcement in May. "How awesome he is for standing by his woman, and his kids," says reader Pauline Serna. Adds Sarah Hensley Nelson, "It takes a special man to adopt and love kids like his own." And to be a hands-on parent! "He makes time for each of them," writes Jenny Leachman, "and he does a good job raising each one of them."
